DOTS Lead Validation is a composite service that makes use of many of Service Objects other web services. So the times will vary depending on the Test Type used, which will tell DOTS Lead Validation which other services to call. The calls are threaded and optimized to be as fast as possible. Currently, there are two main types of Test Types, normal (normal1p and normal2p) and full (full1p and full2p). The normal types should take about 1 second per lookup while the full types may take 2-2.5 seconds. The full types return alternative data (phone numbers, name, address) in the cases perfect matches weren’t found. Unfortunately, these lookups require information from earlier calls and are therefore not as efficient as the normal test types. If you need to run LV in a live environment where performance is a critical factor, it is highly suggested you use the normal test types.
